A Priest, a Pentecostal Preacher and a Rabbi all served as chaplains to thestudents of the University of Georgia in Athens.
They would get together two or three times a week at the Varsity for coffee and to talk shop.
One day, someone made the comment that preaching to people isn't really all that hard. A real challenge would be to preach to a bear.
One thing led to another and they decided to do an experiment. They would all go out into the woods, find a bear, preach to it, and attempt to convert it.
Seven days later, they're all together to discuss the "experience".
Father Flannery, who had his arm in a sling, is on crutches and has various bandages goes first. "Well," he says, "I went into the woods to find me a bear. And when I found him I began to read to him from the Catechism. Well, that bear wanted nothing to do with me and began to slap me around. So I quickly grabbed my holy water, sprinkled him and, Holy Mary Mother of God, he became as gentle a lamb.

he became as gentle a lamb. The bishop is coming out next week to give him
first communion and confirmation."
Reverend Billy Bob Jones of the Pentecostal Church spoke next. He was in a wheelchair, with an arm and both legs in casts and an IV drip. In his best
fire and brimstone oratory he imed "WELL brothers, you KNOW that we
don't sprinkle! I went out and I FOUND me a bear. And then I began to read to my
bear from God's HOLY WORD! But that bear wanted nothing to do with me. So I
took HOLD of him and we began to wrestle. We wrestled down one hill, UP
another and DOWN another until we came to a creek, so I quick DUNKED him
and BAPTIZED his hairy soul. And just like you said, he became as gentle as a
lamb. We spent the rest of the day praising Jesus"
They both looked down at the rabbi, who was lying in a hospital bed. He
was in a body cast and traction with IV's and monitors running in and out of
him. He was in bad shape.

Rabbi Stein looks up and struggles to speak to the others. "Looking back on it, circumcision may not have been the best way to start things off".
